“Spring is beautiful everywhere, but it is more than beautiful in Lebanon. Spring is the spirit of an unknown God speeding through the world, which, as it reaches Lebanon, pauses, because now it is as at home with the souls of the Prophets and Kings hovering over the land, chanting with the brooks of Judea, the eternal Psalms of Solomon, renewing with the Cedars of Lebanon memories of an ancient glory.” WorldSoulHomeBeautifulSpiritMemoriesLandKingsEternalSpringGloryAncientProphetPausesBrooksPsalmsLebanonChantingSolomonSpeedingHoveringCedars Author:Khalil Gibran

“A sea-green sky: lamps blossoming white. This is marginal land: fields of strung wire, of treadless tyres in ditches, fridges dead on their backs, and starving ponies cropping the mud. It is a landscape running with outcasts and escapees, with Afghans, Turks and Kurds: with scapegoats, scarred with bottle and burn marks, limping from the cities with broken ribs. The life forms here are rejects, or anomalies: the cats tipped from speeding cars, and the Heathrow sheep, their fleece clotted with the stench of aviation fuel.” RunningFormWhiteCitiesSeaSkyLandCarFieldsBrokenCatMarkGreenLandscapeFuelAviationRejectsBottlesSheepMudLampsWireStarvingOutcastRibsScapegoatBlossomingPoniesFridgesSpeedingAnomaliesKurdsLimpingFleeceTyresSpeeding Cars Author:Hilary Mantel
